Tips and Tricks To Keep Your House Clean and Organised

We’ve all been there, you’ve walked into your bedroom, looked around and noticed the place looks like a bomb site. The main reason we put off house cleaning chores is because it feels like an overwhelming amount of work. We try to put it off as much as we can, but sometimes you can’t ignore it. Here are few quick tips and cheats on how to keep your home clean and organised.

Bedroom/Livingroom

Instead of running around the house frantically spraying air freshener into every room, try using some essential oils. All you need to do is just boil a little in water and let the sweet aroma go through the house. Another useful tip is knowing how powerful a lemon can be; cut three lemons up in a bowl and place them near your bed. Your bedroom will smell wonderful.

Cupboards/Wardrobes

Every other month have a serious sort out. Throw out any clothes you haven’t worn in a year, get rid of those clothes you think you’re never going to wear again. Bag them up and drop them off at your local charity shop. Not only will you feel better about having a tidy and organised wardrobe, you’ll feel loads better knowing they’ve gone to a new home for a better cause.

Tables/Counters

Instead of using that specific ‘bathroom’ cleaner or those ‘kitchen counter’ wipes, stick to good old fashioned basic dishwashing soap, like Fairy liquid for example. It does the same thing. If you need to disinfect or wash off some serious grime, grab the Dettol.

Bathroom/Wooden Floors/Carpets

If you find yourself forever buying carpet cleaner, try hoovering regularly. You’ll get 70% of the dirt and won’t need a carpet cleaner at all. Mops are handy, but sometimes they can get a bit too wet By getting a cloth, hot soapy water, get down on your knees and get scrubbing both wooden floors and tiles. You won’t be able to believe the difference this makes!

Mirrors/Glass/Windows

Wipe down mirrors and windows and any kind of glass throughout the house by using one wet and one dry microfiber cloth, this way they won’t leave streaks.

However, if you have a busy schedule, whether you’re always working away or have an active family life, you can always rely on the cleaning professionals from Ideal Cleaning.
